Context
A Lament for the Princes of Israel
12But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them. 13Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. 14Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a lament and shall be used as a lament.”…

Now it is planted
The phrase "Now it is planted" signifies a present reality, a condition that has come to pass. In the Hebrew text, the word for "planted" is "שָׁתוּל" (shatul), which conveys the idea of being set or established. This imagery of planting is often used in Scripture to denote the establishment of a people or nation. Here, it reflects the relocation of the people of Israel, symbolized by the vine, into a new and unfavorable environment. This planting is not by choice but by consequence, indicating a divine judgment that has been executed.

in the wilderness
The "wilderness" in biblical terms often represents a place of desolation, testing, and divine judgment. The Hebrew word "מִדְבָּר" (midbar) can mean a desert or a barren place. Historically, the wilderness was a place where the Israelites wandered for forty years, a time of trial and reliance on God. In this context, the wilderness signifies a state of exile and separation from the fertile land of promise, a stark contrast to the land flowing with milk and honey that God had given them.

in a dry and thirsty land
The description "in a dry and thirsty land" emphasizes the severity of the conditions in which the vine is now planted. The Hebrew words "יָבֵשׁ" (yavesh) for "dry" and "צָמֵא" (tsame) for "thirsty" paint a picture of extreme barrenness and lack of sustenance. This imagery is not only physical but also spiritual, indicating a place devoid of the life-giving presence of God. In a conservative Christian perspective, this can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual desolation, where the absence of God's blessings and guidance leads to a parched existence.

(13) In a dry and thirsty ground.--Such was Babylon to Israel in its national relations, and even after the return from the exile the Jews never rose again to much importance among the nations of the earth; but meantime they were being disciplined, that at least a few of them might be prepared for the planting among them of that kingdom not of this world, spoken of at the close of Ezekiel 16, which should fill the whole earth.
